About Dungeons 2

The Dungeon Lord is back – and this time he’s serious! In Dungeons 2, fulfil the Dungeon Lord’s insatiable quest for vengeance by recruiting fearsome new monsters from all corners of the underworld in order to undertake his evil bidding. Taking over the underworld isn’t enough though – this time The Dungeon Lord will extend his dominion over the puny humans and attempt to conquer the overworld too! Take control of the mighty Dungeon Lord and craft a network of unique and terrifying dungeons, recruit an army of fearsome creatures and command two new factions. Prepare to defend your Kingdom against those pesky heroes, go above ground to wage war on their human cities and use the ‘Hand of Terror’ to take direct control over your minions, issue commands, and even dish out a swift slap to keep them in line. The extensive campaign story mode is packed with even more of the dark humour which made the original Dungeons a hit and is peppered with numerous references to various fantasy books, movies and TV shows. Additionally, you can test your strength in four different game modes in multiplayer for up to four players with other Dungeon Lords over LAN or online. Featuring a thrilling

Great ideas, rough execution

This game has a lot of nice things going for it, the aestetics are well designed and while the humor is not brilliant it does have its share of chuckle worthy moments. But, it is abysmally slow. Like in dungeon keeper you rely on mining gold in order to drive the expansion of your dungeon, but where dungeonkeepers imps are efficient little speedfreaks the worker units in Dungeons 2 move more like arthritic old men and very large ammounts of time are spent waiting for them to collect and move gold to your vault so it can be spent. This is further aggravated by a very restrictive population cap that prevents you from keeping more than a handful of workers around without comprimising your army size. It is possible to upgrade your workers to move at a more acceptable pace, but by the time these upgrades become available you have progressed so far that they no longer usefull. The game does not, in fact, have very much content to it, but it is artificially padded by this resource throttling. The campaign is fairly short and skirmish play pretty lackluster. Most of the skirmish maps are taken directly from the campaign and simply stripped off their narative and objectives. I had some fun with this game, but only after i started cheating to give myself gold and speed up progression to something a little faster than continental drift. I cannot recommend getting this game unless these pacing issues are adressed, which seems unlikely.

I've bought the game over a year ago, it was fun to play, but a little too easy

I've bought the game over a year ago, it was fun to play, but a little too easy. It is a RTS game which takes place in dungeons and the Overworld, gameplay is far away from Dungeon Keeper, but it is fun. Patch 1.5 came out in the middle of October 2015, from this day on the game was unplayable with 1 fps or slower. The developers admitted that there is a memory leak, but they like to keep quiet about it and blame everybodies PC. They have 5 answers ready how to fix your problem, mainly update drivers, but if drivers are up to date and the problem carries on you will be ignored from that moment on. I am waiting over 8 months now for a patch to fix the memory leak, but it doesn't look like anything will happen. They ported the game to the PS4 and promised a fix for the PC after they finished the PS4 version, but so far nothing. Take a look at the forum, there are many bug reports without solution, so unless there is a patch which fixes all the bugs don't buy this game unless you want to gamble.

Great Game, lots of fun

Great Game, lots of fun. Controlling your minions with a black and white style brings back all my nostalgia. The tower defense feeling and rts side is outstanding. The game feels a mix of black and white, warcraft 3, Dungeon Keeper, and even a feeling of dwarf fortress. The Combat is entertaining if a little crowded and the AI that handles fighting is extremely smart. Simple right-click into a battle will have your minions not running like idiots to their deaths. If they get hit, they hit back. That being said. It feels like it is missing too much content. -3 maps for skirmash and 6 maps for multiplayer after the release is a little disappointing. Hoping for community maps maybe. -Narrator talks too much. Wish I had an option to mute him or skip the dialogue. -Lag Issues when units are being hit by traps. -Payday needs to either be longer or instanteous. Half of the time the minions are just walking back and forth between paydays. -Minions slack off way too easily requires a lot of slapping. -Demons are currently underpowered and cost too much pop. This games needs to let you play the human Race, like a game mode of dungeon Invader almost. If new maps come out and the lag issues are handled, this game will be alot more fun. It just feels like it is missing something to keep me playing.
